Do the truffle shuffle, and maybe we won’t beat you up IE6! Maybe.

Erm… “this humourous scene appears to visitors of the site who still run IE6 as their browser.”

They didn’t put Firefox 0.5 in there because visitors who get that pic aren’t using Firefox 0.5.

How is ie7 any better than 6? Someone remind me. I still can’t use it without bypassing the administrative controls and installing Firefox (or, if I can’t bypass administration, Chrome).

k dude, you ignore IE when building websites. and the majority of the world will see your site as a pile of ugly

PS. couldnt agree more, IE pisses me off with it’s sh*thouse rendition of CSS! among other things… haven’t tested IE8 much but i’m very unhopeful

IE6 was bundled with XP. pretty hard to avoid

P.s. the UI of Mozilla is really ugly even compared to IE6, more like IE4/5 UI.

Firefox is based on Mozilla witch is based on Netscape, so IE 6 Should be compared to Mozilla 0.6 or 1 (IE6 was released inbetwean thows versions). The spooky thing here is that Netscape and IE are based on Mosaic, so FireFox 3.5 is actualy also related to IE6 in a 8xGrate grandfarther’s brotheres’s 4xGrate grandson kind of way.
A quick test of Mozilla 0.9.4 gives this Acid3 18/100 (IE7 gets 14/100), acid2 looks close to IE7.
So in conclusion “Fixfox” (Mozilla) was close to IE7 at IE6’s release.

Yes at my school all computers are loaded with IE 6. I assume this summer, they will be upgrading but still.. Also I’m sure many other workplaces use it as well.

Comparing apples with apples huh? So you think it’s okay to skip a couple of years and compare the first version of Firefox with the first version of IE? Huh huh. Different time, different market, different idealogies, different interests, different game.

Should old browser users upgrade? Yes! And this is a way of informing them. I wouldn’t play it like this, but if it fits your target audience, why not?

As far as Geeks are Sexy goes, the total share of IE use, all version included, is at 26%. Only 2% still use IE6.
